Back Home for the Server Update

King Base

Bang-

With a loud bang, wood chips burst and scattered in all directions.

Shen Long clenched his teeth, his eyes wide open, his chest heaving violently.

"Jiu Chen! Jian Qingfeng! Zhou He!"

He hates three people the most!

"Didn't you say Zhou He and Jian Qingfeng went missing at Crystal Mist Peak? Is this what you call a disappearance?"

Shen Long roared.

He had been in a good mood ever since he learned of Jian Qingfeng and Zhou He's disappearance.

I was hoping those two would never show up again. But then I heard the system announcement—they weren't missing at all! They clearly went to Crystal Mist Peak to raid that Advent Dungeon!

And that Yellow Fur Jiu Chen, who tricked him, is there too!

Why aren't you saying anything? Go ahead and say something!

"What are the spies in Dragon City doing? Jian Qingfeng and the others have already cleared the Dungeon, and these people haven't sent a single message!"

Shen Long became increasingly angry!

He thought the person had gone missing, but it turned out they had gone to Advent Dungeon!

Moreover, this "Advent Dungeon" looks anything but simple; Zhou He and his group must have gained countless benefits from clearing it!

Had he known Crystal Mist Peak was in this state, he would have led his men to attack it.

"Useless! All of you are useless!"

His men all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

What could they say? They knew nothing.

However, this matter is indeed a bit strange. It was supposed to be a disappearance, but how did it turn into land reclamation?

If it weren't for the system announcement, they still wouldn't know that the other person went to run Dungeon.

Shen Long closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Ask the players who went missing from the Shen Sect, the Never Setting Sun Gathering Point city, if they've returned yet, and if they know anything about the Dungeon."

"Yes, Sect Master." Just as Shen Long's confidant was about to open the game interface to inquire about the Dungeon, the system announcement sounded again.

System announcement: Congratulations to player Xu Shengguo for successfully building the Level 3 Safe City, Yanhuang City! We sincerely invite heroes from all over the world to gather here and join hands to write a glorious legend!

Shen Long's confidant:...

No! Does it have to be at this time?

It's always like this! Can't we just play the game in peace?

What should he do? He doesn't even dare to look at Shen Long's face now.

The scene was deathly quiet.

Now no one dared to raise their head.

The managers of the Shen Sect were extremely anxious.

Shen Long, you can be angry, but you have to know when to stop!

There's only one minute left before the game shuts down. Can we exit the game now and get angry next time?

Speak up!

Shen Long! Say something!

Ding! System notification: There are 30 seconds left before the game server maintenance. Please log out of the game as soon as possible, or you will be responsible for the consequences!

Only 30 seconds left! Rumor has it that players who don't log out in time during the game's maintenance will die!

They can't wait any longer!

Finally, one of the managers couldn't help but raise his head.

I was so angry when I saw it!

Where is Shen Long now?

That jerk just logged off without saying a word!

Is he even human?

Live on! Who the hell can outlive you!

"What are you all still standing there for? Log off now!"

The player immediately exited the game after speaking.

Since the system announced the server maintenance update, many players in the community area did not log out of the game immediately, but instead chatted leisurely in the World Channel.

Sexy Mother Cockroach: Sigh, it seems the people in the Military District really knew the game was going to be shut down for an update. No wonder they kept spamming the world chat for those two days, telling us to quit the game before it shut down.

Meat Defeats Steel: Definitely! Didn't you see the latest game update is called "Ghost Domain"? The Advent Dungeon that the Military District cleared is also called "Ghost Domain". The Military District probably already knew about it.

Pancake Master: Huh? Why is that cheater Jiu Chen doing Dungeon with people from the Military District? Did Lord Zhou He recruit him?

Yue Qianjun: That's great! I've just obtained Dragon City Citizen, and now that Jiu Chen has joined, can I switch to the Profession he created?

Star Like Rain: Why don't you tell us how you obtained your Dragon City Citizen?

Yue Qianjun: Bought it with 100 million Core Power.

While other players were still chatting in the world chat, one player saw the server shutdown announcement and immediately logged out of the game without saying a word.

"Last time the servers were down for maintenance and you had to log out, the Login Administration Bureau was incredibly congested. That was even with the game announcing it 30 minutes in advance. This time, they only gave 5 minutes' notice. If you're slow to log out, you might get crammed into the sky."

After logging off, the player noticed that there were already quite a few people Login Administration Bureau, but it was still acceptable.

Just as he was about to rush out of the Administration Bureau office, players appeared one after another at the entrance, instantly blocking his way.

"Damn! Still too slow!"

Xiao Fan logged off relatively early; this time, when he exited the game, he skipped the materialization phase entirely.

But when he appeared at the Login Administration Bureau, he was still taken aback by the sheer number of people!

There wasn't even room to put your feet down!

Fortunately, most players' bodies were enhanced; otherwise, several people could have been crushed to death in this situation!

"Don't push! Everyone, please don't push! Keep up the order."

The sound of maintaining order came from the entrance.

Xiao Fan forced himself to squeeze through the gates of the Login Administration Bureau for an hour before finally exiting.

Seeing that both roads were already packed with people, he felt a chill run down his spine.

He had originally planned to wait by the door to see if he could spot the Chen Family, but seeing the situation, he decisively gave up.

On his way home, Xiao Fan's thoughts were racing.

The update to the <Ghost Domain> version verified what Luo Yi said and confirmed his storyline in the secret realm <Blue Star Game Invasion>.

Will Uncle Xiao Yi and Aunt Liu Xiujuan's identities be as depicted in the story?

Xiao Fan shook his head.

He felt it wasn't necessarily true; many things didn't make sense.

The year his parents got into the game, his younger cousins were already five years old.

If, as in the storyline of the secret realm, the uncle and aunt weren't married at that time, where did these two children come from?

Surely the game doesn't involve arranging children for people, does it?

Isn't that redundant?

"Perhaps the plot was designed to immerse me in the role, so they arranged for this to happen to my family."

Xiao Fan guessed.

The incident is the same, but the person is definitely not his family!

If it were the original owner, there might still be doubts in their mind.

But Xiao Fan, being able to see things from an outsider's perspective, knew that this couldn't possibly be true, and there was nothing to doubt about it.

That's what he said, but when he got to his doorstep, Xiao Fan still stopped.

He recalled that when he cleared the <Blue Star Game Invasion> dungeon, the system mentioned that he had changed other people's fates.

This made Xiao Fan hesitate for a moment, until a voice came from inside the door.

"I saw on the Game Forum that the game servers were down for maintenance today, and all players logged out and returned to reality."

It was my uncle Xiao Yi's voice! Immediately following was my aunt's boisterous voice.

"Oh no! Isn't Xiao Fan coming back? I need to go out and buy some groceries."

"Don't go. All the players have logged out of the game this time. The roads will be incredibly congested. You'll probably be back from the market around midnight."

"That's true... Let me see what groceries we have at home, I need to cook quickly."

Xiao Fan:...

Seriously, the soundproofing in their house is still so bad.
